Remember on 1st April, when as an April Fools joke, Toonami returned for one night and there was a big public outcry for it to return? Well, you were listened to. Toonami is returning to America. It will be starting again on 25th May 2012.

Now, if only it will come back to the UK as well.

No offense, but I think this is just some sort of viral campaign, that's what I think...
 
And to think Cartoon Network's 20th anniversary couldn't get any better than this.

This is really happening guys. It should be announced at 9pm EDT tonight at Adult Swim's upfront.
 
Holy crap, this is awesome news.

And this week keeps getting better.
 
And now this is happening. How is this happening?

This week is epic.
 
W00T!

Cheat Commandos, ROCK ROCK ON!

I want some new, non 4kids dubs with the return of Toonami!

Again, Cheat Commandos, ROCK ROCK ON!

Let's hope this is used to revive many an anime that 4kids killed with censorship and Americanization(PRAYS for Sailor Moon Re-Dub)!

So yeah, just in case there were any more doubters. This is apparently Adult Swim's anime lineup for the 27th, in case anyone is interested:
12:00 a.m. - Bleach
12:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist
1:00 a.m. - Durarara!!
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

4:00 a.m. - Bleach
4:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
5:00 a.m. - Durarara!!
5:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop
 
YES!!
I missed the April Fool's day event (no one told me. I usually only watch Bleach on Adult Swim and even then miss some weeks). Glad to see it wasn't a total farce.

So yeah, totally kickass, even without Dragon Ball Z reruns. You can bet I'll be watching.
 
12:00 a.m. - Bleach
12:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist
1:00 a.m. - Durarara!!
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2:00 a.m. - FLCL
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop
3:00 a.m. - Bleach
3:30 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
4:00 a.m. - Bleach
4:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
5:00 a.m. - Durarara!!
5:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop

If I had cable, much less were able to watch it at 2:00 in the morning, I would be so f***ing stoked right now.

*begins parroting the Cowboy Bebop theme song and pumping fists in the air*
 
All they've done is added a second Cowboy Bebop in place of Inuyasha, removed Kekkaishi and put on the older Fullmetal Alchemist anime in place of it. It's otherwise the same lineup they've had for months now.

Why should I be impressed by it? Beyond Toonami's return?
 
The nostalgia dollar is powerful.

It looks like they're bringing back T.O.M. version 3. Good thing, since no one wanted version 4 to return.

I'm not actually interested in watching any of these shows. Just bring back Sailor Moon. I wouldn't stay up to watch it, but I'd certain record it on my dvr.

You've gotta be kidding me. That's the lineup? How disappointing. No Big O, no Yu Yu Hakusho or 2004 Astro Boy? That's basically Adult Swim's current animu lineup with Cowboy Bebop added. Pssh. And to think I was actually excited about this.

But it's Cowboy friggin' Bebop, bro

The main event here is Toonami returning. So now kids of the 2010s can get their anime fix on the same block children of the late 1990s and early 2000s did. Which is pretty dang cool.
 
That was the Adult Swim line-up for the Sunday iirc. Toonami was later confirmed to be a Saturday only thing.

Anyways: Toonami to get Casshern Sins and Deadman Wonderland. Here's the line-up:
12:00 a.m. - Bleach
12:30 a.m. - Deadman Wonderland
1:00 a.m. - Casshern Sins
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2:00 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop
With repeats from 3-6am.

Also, FUNimation are urging people to bug Adult Swim about getting Panty & Stocking on TV.
